It is an authentic, ecologically dominant native component of Gujarat's riparian corridors, river ravines, moist mixed deciduous woodlands, and freshwater wetlands. It occurs naturally throughout the riverine belts and moist valleys of South Gujarat (The Dangs, Valsad, Navsari, Surat, Narmada, Chhota Udepur), Central Gujarat (Panchmahal, Dahod, Mahisagar), the Aravalli valleys of North Gujarat (Sabarkantha, Banaskantha), and along perennial streams in the Gir, Girnar, and Barda forests of Saurashtra. Outside natural forest tracts, it is widely planted along agricultural canals, rural farm borders, and civic avenues.
